Mr Shah told the ANI news agency: “Discussions (between India and Pakistan) won’t make progress without the Kashmir issue.... It is not right to dictate the government of Pakistan that it should not meet the Hurriyat leaders. Government of India should reject this rigidness; their stand is very weak.”

He said the Kashmir issue was very important and if the Indian government wanted to discuss it with the Kashmiri leaders they were ready for a dialogue.

Meanwhile, the high court of Jammu and Kashmir quashed on Friday the detention under the Public Safety Act of Kashmiri leader Masarat Alam who was arrested for allegedly hoisting Pakistani flags and chanting anti-India slogans.

Justice Hasnain Masoodi, who had earlier reserved his order on the petition filed by Mr Alam’s counsel, quashed the detention of the 45-year-old leader.

Mr Alam was arrested on April 17 for allegedly raising Pakistani flags and chanting anti-India slogans during a rally organised by the Hurriyat Conference to welcome Syed Ali Shah Geelani from New Delhi.

Police had registered a case against several leaders including Hurriyat Conference chairman Geelani for activities like hoisting the Pakistani flag.

500.000 - 700.000 IA terrorist occupying and systematically murdering the muslims under AFSPA. Only an idiot would want to publish a pic with his face on.

"Only an idiot who doesnt want to or not avails benefits of India yet support separatist ideology would want to publish a pic with his face on so as to be inconvenienced by Indian authorities and can't go back to blending as an innocent when convenient."

Traitors like these people waving Terrorist flags should be given two choices, get the f*@k out of our land or shot at point blank.

They want benefits of India while cheering for Pakis.
They want to be mard-e-momins when convenient yet be innocent as per situation.

So glad AFSPA is there, these two faced traitors deserve that and a lot more.

More than half a million army with AFSPA can't prevent Kashmiri muslims hoisting Pakistani flag in the heart of the valley. That's what counts, shows the courage and desire of the muslims not to celebrate India's independence.

Isn't that contradictory to waving flags with faces covered?

If one were unaware of national flags, one might assume that just like ISIS, there's a new terrorist group in town!

They can raise any falg they want, all I care is that there's support for Pakistan, period.
